Drew Blyth Barrymore (born February 22, 1975) is an American actor, film producer and film director. She is the youngest member of the Barrymore family of American actors and granddaughter of John Barrymore. She first appeared in an advertisement when she was eleven months old. Barrymore made her film debut in Altered States in 1980. Afterwards, she starred in her breakout role in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. She quickly became one of Hollywood's most recognized child actors, going on to establish herself in mainly comic roles. Following a turbulent childhood which was marked by drug and alcohol abuse and two stints in rehab, Barrymore wrote the 1990 autobiography, Little Girl Lost. She successfully made the transition from child star to adult actress with a number of films including the unsuccessful Poison Ivy, Bad Girls, Boys on the Side, and Everyone Says I Love You. Subsequently, she established herself in romantic comedies such as The Wedding Singer and Lucky You. In 1990, she and partner Nancy Juvonen formed the production company Flower Films, with its first production the 1999 Barrymore film Never Been Kissed. Flower Films has gone on to produce the Barrymore vehicle films Charlie's Angels, 50 First Dates, and Music and Lyrics, as well as the cult film Donnie Darko. Barrymore's more recent projects include He's Just Not That into You, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, and Everybody's Fine. A recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Barrymore appeared on the cover of the 2007 People magazine's 100 Most Beautiful issue. Barrymore was named Ambassador Against Hunger for the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). Since then, she has donated over $1 million to the program. In 2007, she became both CoverGirl's newest model and spokeswoman for the cosmetic and the face for Gucci's newest jewelry line.

Reel Bad Arabs - exposing racist hate - spsyed review
Reel Bad Arabs" (52mins) with Jack Shaheen, exposing racist hate. Hollywood, and even the Indian Bollywood, film and media industry is obsessed with "the three Bs" belly dancers, billionaire sheiks and bombers. In every movie they make, every time an Arab utters the word Allah, and something blows up. This groundbreaking documentary dissects a slanderous aspect of cinematic history that has run virtually unchallenged from the earliest days of silent film to today's biggest Hollywood blockbusters. Reel Bad Arabs exposes a long line of degrading images of Arabs from Bedouin bandits and submissive maidens to sinister sheikhs and gun-wielding "terrorists" along the way offering devastating insights into the origin of these stereotypic images, their development at key points in European and American history, and why they matter so much today as they continue to indoctrinate hate, racism and discrimination against Muslims and Arabs. The images serve to naturalize prejudicial attitudes toward Arabs and Arab culture, in the process reinforcing a narrow view of individual Arabs and the effects of specific US domestic and international policies on their lives. By inspiring critical thinking about the social, political, and basic human consequences of leaving these Hollywood/Bollywood media caricatures unexamined, this informational and educational documentary challenges reasonable viewers to recognise the urgent need for counter-narratives that do justice to the diversity and humanity of Arab people and the reality and richness of Arab history and culture. This groundbreaking documentary dissects a slanderous aspect of Hollywood cinematic history in which Middle Eastern, Arab and Muslim characters have been unfairly, criminally characterised for over one hundred years.
Dr Jack Shaheen, Professor Emeritus of Mass Communication at Southern Illinois University, and a noted media commentator, is a leading scholar of Arab representations in US popular culture. He continues to be a piercing laser of fairness and sanity in pointing out Hollywood's ongoing egregious smearing of Arabs. Shaheen analysed over 1,000 Hollywood films from 1896 to 2004 to expose the hatred against Arabs and Muslims. Only less than seven percent of the films could be considered positive or non-offensive towards Arabs. The only problem is that Shaheen views are outdated from the 1095 Crusades to the oil greed, pretexts for invasion and occupation of Iraq, Afghanistan and Project for the New American Century (PNAC).

Hollywood flicks
This week's new releases kick off with George Clooney carrying the load in The American, a quiet thriller in which he plays a man who knows his way around guns. But there's nothing quiet about the other news releases: Machete & Going the Distance.
Unmentioned is the fact that the war destroyed perhaps a million Iraqi lives, and created over four million refugees. Or that it took Washington's divide-and-conquer policy of exacerbating sectarian religious and ethnic rivalries to produce a stalemate instead of a humiliating defeat for the Pentagon at the hands of up to 25,000 poorly armed, irregular and part-time guerrillas.
The film's odd title, according to the producers, "is soldier vernacular for explosions that send you to the 'hurt locker.'" But in the "collateral damage" of this unnecessary war — the civilian dead and wounded and millions of wrecked lives — has no place in "The Hurt Locker." Only American pain is stored there, not Iraqi.
Actress Milla Jovovich returns as the zombie-fighting heroine Alice. Ali Larter reprises her role as Claire Redfield from “Resident Evil: Extinction.” Spencer Locke, who played K-Mart in “Extinction,” is also set to return. New to the film franchise is leading man Wentworth Miller, who has signed on as Chris Redfield – Claire’s brother and a popular character from the game series. Shawn Roberts will take over the role of Alice’s nemesis Wesker. Boris Kodjoe and Kim Coates have also been cast.
"The Militarization of Hollywood": Unlocking "The Hurt Locker"
War Propaganda wins the Academy Award
1. The film did not even hint that the three-man Army elite Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) squad operating in Baghdad a year after in the U.S. invasion was engaged in an unjust, illegal war, and thus were participants in what international law defines as a war crime.
